Considered the starting point for the conflicts occurring in mordern Korean history, the Cheju-do April 3rd struggle is the central theme of this film. The significance of revelation is seen as actual testimonies of survivors and archival material depict in detail events that occurred 49 years ago. Not only does the film show how the relationship between the Rhee Syngman regime and the US military influenced this tragedy, it also shows how this was an anti-communist "witchhunt" with Cheju-do as the sacrificial lamb.
